" hO Slew All These {!

Sixteen pesrons were killed. The ingenu-
ity Of the Inqnisilion could hardly have
devised any more horrible form OF death
than that they suffered. They were crush
ed and burned alive. Part of them were
proceeding quietly on journey, attending
to their own affairs; one was brnvely
facing danger in the path OF duty. Nome
Of those murdered had directly done any
thing 10 cause his own death.
Who slew all these
Two drinks OF whisky at Bloomdale and
two at Fostoria duled the brain Of the Ell
gineer OF the freight.
Two saloons supplied these drinks.
The voters of Ohio authorized these
saloons TO seil the drink that siupefed the
engineer, that stalled the freight. that
wrecked the train. and killed the passen-
gers.
Who slew all these?
Christian voters, how can you eVade the
responsibility
One year ago last fall you had an opporlu-
uity TO remove every saloon from the State
II ad you in 1885 all voted the Prohibition
ticket there would have been no saloon NJ
Bloomdale and none at Fostoria, those
drinks would not have been taken, that
wreck wonld not have occurred, those
lives would not have been sacrificed.
Think il over, brethern. Think Of
those awful deaths, the direct and leglti-
mate result OF your vote, and Then ask
yonrsell;
Who slew all these7
Then think Of the Thousands and thou
sands OF other deaths no less horrible-ol
the men who have gone down to drunk
ard's grave and druDksrd's hell through
the work CT the saloon. Think Of the
thousands Of little children who are
this winter suffering from cold and hunger
because Of the saloon. Then think OF the
fact that these saloons exist 10 day because
Of yonr vote. and AJAX yourselves;
Who slew all these ;-Nsu Era.

"There are probably enough Of them in

The Ice Break-Up.-Probably not in
the history Of ice and snow has there
been such sudden departure as that of
Saturday and Saturday night. A warm
South wind on Friday night, Saturday
and Saturday night swept away 10 to 1s
inches OF snow and near an equal thick
ness of ice. At P. M, Saturday the ice
had broken up above the bridge, and
next morning the river was bank full
only, and but little ice floating on the
surface. 1t remained at this stage for
about three days, at no time covering
the big island.
Considerable damage was done to the
bridges. in Toledo, but scarcely as much
as was expected. About all of the Union
bridge except the draw, and part of
the Pennsylvania bridge was carried
away, a portion of the Wheeling was
moved about eight inches out of place.
But little other damage there, although
there were heavy gorges of ice about
the bridges.

Electrical Theory and Practice.

In the minds of the SO called practical
workmen of the day there is a sharp line
drawn between theory and practice. "Prac
tice" 20 this workman means all that is wor-
thy in, and all the existent facts Of, his pro-
fession FOR theory ne has superlative
contempt, while the theorist undertakes the
capabilities and Importance Of the practical
workman, and, unused to work himself, he
cannot see the imperfections i'll his own elab-
crate theories. Between these two extremes
is the workman who, while recognizing the
strict thralldom of practical working, yet APP
preciates that it is through the study of the
ory that science advances This workman
endeavors to apply theory 10 practice, and il
is by his expenditure of hand work and mind
work that invention comes. To those in cleo
trical pursuits this combination of the prac-
teal with the theoretical is particularly
necessary. From the nature of the subject
grave accidents might occur through the
errors OF the workman who, disdaining the
teachings of theory, goes blindly to work.

A., Jr, was sent for, and in few moments
stood looking through the glass lid Of the

ceptible change had taken place in the scors
of years Aside from the leathern sallew
tint which the flesh Of the dead takes on, ths

Dnesn't Make II So.

The Coopers' Union of Cincinn att
has issued statement of its reason for
seeding from the Knights of Labor, as
follows: l Because it seems to us
clear and proved beyond doubt, that
Powderly is traitor to the working
men; that he is sanctimonious and I'M
true, as we'll as tool in the hands of
the capitalists 2. Because all the
good the order possesses is only on the
paper of the constitution, but never
could be found in reality. 1t is our
opinion that It's the fault of the officers,
who always paralyzed the enforcement
of the best parts of the constitution.
3. Because all strikes, even when they
were won already, were lost at the last
moment by Powderly and the District
Master Workman. 4. Because, al
though members pay the year around
continually, they never find any assist
ancewhen they need it, 3 Because the
temperance principles of the order of
the Knights of Labor are in our opinion.
unworthy of free workingman, and be-
cause they are antagonistic to our in
terests.
The Knights of Labor is a big un-
wiedly body to be handled as one or
ganization, and some disaffection is to
be expected, but the opinions of MIR.
Powderly expressed above are those en-
tanned by the thoughtful people of the
country, either in or out of the order.

General Donaldson's Fortunate Mis-
take.

From the Century we quote the fol-
lowing war anecdote, by K. II. Eddy:
Prior to the battle of Nashville, Major
General James l.. Donaldson (who won
honors in the Mexican war, and who
died in the spring Of 1850, was quar-
termaster under General Thomas. He
once told me the following incident:
Having occasion to purchase mules
for the army, he ordered person in
whom he had confidence to visit the
contiguous Northern States, inadyer-
tently saying to him, Buy as many as
you can, not supposing he would be
able to secure more than few thousand
at the most. Some weeks afterward,
Just before the attack upon Hoods
army, General Donaldson, on meeting
his agent, inquired how many mules he
had been able to secure. To the
amazement of the general, he was in
formed that tUenty thousand or more
had been obtained. Upon which the
general exclaimed Il am ruined man!
| shall be court-martialcd and driven
from the army for not limiting you in the
purchase. You have.procured many
times more than had any idea or in
tention of purchasing; but the fault is
mine, not yours. | ought to have
been particular in my order" In an
extremely disheartened state he went
to his home, believing that such a
thoughtless act on his part could not
be overlooked by the commanding
general.
He had scarcely reached his house
before a messenger came from General
Thomas with an order for General
Donaldson to come Immediately to
headquarters. This seemed to DO the
sealing of his fate, and in n state of
trepidation bordering on frenzy he
appeared before Gen Thomas. whom
he found in mood, apparently of
great depression. Soon after Donald
son had entered his presence General
Thomas said. DONALDSON, how many
mules have yol?' With some pertur-
baton he replied. Upwards Of twenty
five thousand" "TWenty-fUe thousand,
did you say?" repeated the general.
us it possible that you have this
number? Donaldson, accept my most
heartfelt thanks; you hare saUed this
army! / can now have transportation
and can fight Hood. and viii do SO at
once"
